My issue is that I still cant trust Google. They scan my email in gmail without my consent for their personal gain, what is to say they dont profile me even further?
Sometime in 2004 I interviewed with Google and in the course of discussion I asked about gmail and access to developers to production data. The answer shocked me, the Googler I was talking to said that every developer inside Google had access to production servers and data. In effect any developer could get an instance of latest gmail code and point to prod servers and look at anyone's gmail account!! She said that we dont do that and if found out it's a terminable offense but the idea that there is no safeguard shocked me. It made me think that in Google, privacy is inherently not thought about, getting to market as quickly as possible is the ultimate goal for that they will forego privacy in an instant. I stay away from Google and any of its products.
